I know that this forum/Vanilla filters URLs to add a warning that one is being directed to a site outside of the Polk forums ecosystem, but now linked image files seem to suffer the same fate(?). Maybe it's me, Flickr, or my browser (Chrome @ the moment).

Here's a link to an image, as hosted @ Flickr:

just the "IMG" code and the URL for the jpg:

Embedded HTML:

Das Ding an sich. (downloaded from Flickr and uploaded to Vanilla/Polk):
